Certified Organic Green Turmeric, fresh from Florida!

Now offering organic green turmeric ( curcuma aeruginosa). I have to apologize here, we were originally calling this black turmeric! Then we saw that most people consider “black” to be the variety that is violet blue inside. So we had previously been calling it “white”, (curcuma zedoaria). well, that’s not right either. White turmeric is also known as “mango” and is definitely not green inside. I believe we have finally properly identified this variety, and I am sorry for the confusion. I think I see why this has been so tricky to sort out. It seems it was just 2014 when researchers changed their mind and decided this was not the same variety as “black”, (curcuma caesia). I am going to go with the university of Hawaii and start calling it “green”. That makes sense to me as it is definitely a lime green inside. Of course, now it will be confusing because people will think it’s green as in not ripe yet, and i probably won’t sell any because no one ever heard of it. An internet search of common names brings up “black ginger”, “pink and blue ginger”, “hidden lilly”, and more vernacular names in India, Malaysia, etc. I will post more information as to it’s uses, but I can tell you it is a lot “stronger” tasting than the red, it is more of a medicinal use than a food product.
